Swerve and a KitchenAid Giveaway

Okay, so I’ve made it abundantly clear that I have a favourite low carb sweetener. There are, in my humble opinion, many advantages to using Swerve Sweetener in place of other low and no-calorie sweeteners. It barely registers in my blood glucose, it doesn’t cause me any gastro-intestinal upset, and unlike most other erythritol based sweeteners, it has little to no cooling effect in the mouth. And because of the added oligosaccharides, it is sweeter and can be used cup for cup to replace sugar. But there’s another reason that I love Swerve and that’s because the people behind the product are really wonderful. And I mean that sincerely.

Yes, they do send me free product and yes, they did fly me down to New Orleans to tape a few cooking show segments, but that’s not why I feel this way. I’ve met them a few times now and they are just delightful. They care about their product, they care about their customers, and they have delightful Southern accents, what more could you ask for? Well, one of them has a delightful Australian accent, but whatever. Delightful accents all around. But really, they do believe in their product and they go to great lengths to procure non-GMO erythritol, and to test it, and test it and test it some more.

And they really do care about their customers. They want to make Swerve more readily available to the average customer, and get it on store shelves across the US and Canada. And they’ve asked me to help, by asking my readers to tell me where they live and where they shop. Not, I assure you, in a Big Brother kind of way, but simply general location (state and town and grocery stores where you shop). As an added incentive, every person who contributes this information will be entered to win a 5 quart KitchenAid stand mixer. Have I ever told you how much I love my KitchenAid stand mixer? I could write odes to the darn thing! Great kitchen gadgets and delightful accents…what more could you ask for?

Giveaway Rules:

1. Open to US and Canadian residents

2. Contest will run from now until August 15th, 2012 at midnight EDT at which time I will select a winner at random.

3. To enter, simply leave a comment telling us your general location and where you prefer to shop (and where you’d like to see Swerve on the shelf).

4. For additional entries (leave a seperate comment for each):

**Please note that the prize may differ from the mixer pictured above, I just wanted to give an example photo.

I live in Arlington, Va. and just received 3 large bags directly from Swerve. You’re right, they were great folks to deal with,too. Made my first batch of Raspberry Prosecco Sorbet. It turned out really well. I live a stone’s throw from Trader Joe’s & Whole Foods & MOM’s ( My Organic Market). I’d love to see it stocked there!

I am from northeast Nebraska and I get Swerve from Amazon right now but would like to see it at our local Hy-Vee store. They do have a marvelous health food selection and Swerve just be another item I could buy locally.

I live in San Juan, Puerto Rico and I would love to see it carried out at either Freshmart (which is our Whole Foods imitation that is not even close to WF, but it works) or Supermax Supermarkets which is around the corner from my house! 🙂

BTW don’t put me in the drawing. I already have a kitchen aid stand mixer but wanted to share the info as well since I also think that the people a Swerve are swell!

I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I SO wish Swerve was here in our main grocery stores Smith’s (a Kroger owned brand), Albertson’s, and definitely at Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. And Walmart would make it absolutely convenient to pick up anytime. Two other stores of note are Sunflower Market (an absolutely fabulous organic and “real” food chain), and Fresh and Easy for sure!

Thanks for the opportunity, information, and fabulous product!
Annette

My name is Talia, I live in Minneapolis, MN. I would love to see Swerve sold at our local health food stores as well as Rainbow Foods. Just started the GF eating lifestyle and this is all new to me. Need all the help I can get:)

Hey there,
I live in St. Louis Park, MN. I would like to see Swerve at Rainbow Foods, and/or Whole Foods. This will help when my wife has late night gluten free pumpkin muffin cravings and sends me out to the store.

HI!,
I live in North carolina and would like to see Swerve sold at whole foods/Trader Joes or Fresh market. Fresh market is a local family run store with expansion to other states. Swerve would be a great product to add to its natural/organic baking section. Kim

We’re so close Brandy! I’m in Lancaster PA and I would also love to see Swerve at Walmart or Weis but Giant would also be good and I think I would do a happy dance in the store if I could buy Swerve in bulk at BJ’s Club

I live in Washington, DC but lived in New Orleans for six months last year. I loved having Swerve available at Rouse’s and Whole Foods and would love to see Swerve at Whole Foods and Giant or Safeway in the DC area!

Hi, I can’t take part as I come from Scotland but I would like them to sell it in my supermarket, I don’t think they sell it in the uk, I have tried to find it but no luck.
I love your recipes just wish I could get some swerve to make them but thank you for your great recipes anyways.

Hi Rona…let’s see if we can find a way to get you some Swerve to try. Email me (check my About page for email address) and maybe we can arrange a situation where you order some online, send it to me in Boston, and I mail it to you in the UK. 🙂

Hey Carolyn, this is awesome because I’ve wanted to try Swerve since I read about it on your site recently but I haven’t been able to find it where I live! I live in South Carolina and have looked for Swerve but been unable to find it in Walmart, Piggly Wiggly, IGA or Food Lion which are most of the local stores near me. I haven’t headed to Charleston yet to try Whole Foods or Publix but that was my next step to try and find it, or order it online if that’s even possible. I hope to find it in my stores soon!

I’ve ordered swerve and really like it as well. I am in Springfield, MO…..but like yourself I’m a transplanted Canuck! I shop at Dillons, price cutter and hy-vee stores. We also have a natural food market that carries all sorts of natural sweeteners called Mama Jeans.

Hiya, I live in the Netherlands so I cannot do the competition but I’d still like swerve to know they would be very welcome here in the NL, in our local supermarkets like Albert Heijn, C1000, Lidl, ANYWHERE. I usually now go to my nature store or buy online from a brand called SteviJa (stevia and erythritol) by have it now for the first time and it is a bit ‘ice-y’ xoxo

I live in the Albany, New York area and would love to see Swerve at ANY of the grocery stores:
Price Chopper
Hannaford * (My preferred)
Trader Joe’s (just got here!)
Whole Foods (is on it’s way…)
Or The Honest Weight Food Co-Op

I love swerve and I can attest that they really do care about their products and customers. They were so easy to order from and when I emailed with a question they got right back to me and not an automated response. It was nice and I would love for them to come to my home town so evryone can try their products.
I live in Huntsville AL and I shop at Kroger, Publix, and Earth fare.

Hi, I live in Abbeville, Louisiana. I do most of my grocery shopping at Super Wal-mart, but Super 1 Foods is the store in my town that offers more of the specialty items, i.e. ethnic and such. You know what though, I would love to see it everywhere. The retailers that pick them up should but a banner of swerve in the store and maybe do some sample booths. I’ve only just heard of them this month but boy I wish I’d have started using it sooner, yum!

I live in Longmont Colorado, and I would love to see Swerve at Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage, a local health food chain! 🙂 They can be counted on to carry healthy, natural food and you would fit right in. 🙂

I live in Ashland, WI and shop at a tiny little local Coop. I have used Swerve and I love it! I can’t find any anywhere nearby, so I’ve been using a different brand, but it does have that cooling effect.

I’m so excited to hear in may be able to get Swerve in Canada!
I live in Toronto, Ontario. I buy my organic food & supplements at The Big Carrot (www.thebigcarrot.ca), but source specific low-carb necessities at either Low Carb Grocery (thelowcarbgrocery.com) or Low Carb Canada (lowcarbcanada.ca). Both have mail order operations that ship across Canada, which might make an easier solution for initial distribution in Canada.

Hi Jo, I spoke with the Cdn distributor for Swerve and told them about LowCarb Canada and LowCarb Grocery. Hopefully they will get in there. I also told LowCarb Grocery directly about the product. I did buy some Swerve in Woodbridge at Noah’s Natural Foods. I know Noah’s has other locations – maybe they carry it as well? Good luck!

We currently live at Fort Leavenworth, KS, but being military, we relocate frequently, which makes consistent access to quality food difficult. I buy food from many sources, the local farmer’s market, the commissary, netrition online, sometimes Price Chopper, and I also drive 45 minutes to get certain things from the nearest Whole Foods. It is exhausting! 🙂

I live in Loganville GA. We love eating low carb. This is the first i have heard of this sweetener but would love to try it. I have wanted a kitchen aid moxer for over 3 years but have not had the extra funds to buy it! Thank you for this opportunity to win and make great healthy food!

Dexter, NM (very close to Roswell, the infamous UFO capital)- not many shopping choices here (Walmart, Albertsons and a local chain of grocery stores so I have to find Swerve online) but who knows….maybe the aliens will start an intergalactic delivery service 😉
It would be nice to see ANY local store carry Swerve as well as better overall products for those eating low-carb!

I live in Minnesota and would love to see Swerve at my local Whole Foods. I was in Mississippi Market (another whole foods coop here) and was delighted to see it on the shelf there. I don’t usually make sweet things but when I do, I use Swerve.

Shop in Virginia so Wal-mart, Wegman’s or Food Lion would be so awesome! I just tried it for the first time in a recipe yesterday and I was so sad that I needed to use almost half the bag in the dessert. It was worth it though, the dessert was instantly gobbled down by all. It would really help to be able to get it locally though!

I just found your blog about a week ago, but I am already so in love with it. I’ve just become interested in low carb sweeteners, and haven’t had a chance yet to try SWERVE. I live in Montreal and shop mostly at Metro, sometimes at Provigo. Aside from that just local Mom and Pop grocers.

Hi, I’m from Slidell, LA, right outside of New Orleans. How have I missed this product? I’ve been using agave. I just recently found out I was diabetic. Will be looking for this ASAP. Thanks so much for the info. I would like to see it at Rouses, but it sounds like it may already be there. Looking forward to trying it. Thanks! You have a new follower. 🙂

Hi Rebekah – as a fellow diabetic, I will tell you to steer clear of agave. It’s really just sugar (fructose instead of sucrose, but sugar nonetheless), in another form. It won’t do your blood sugar levels any favours. Erythritol on the other hand has zero effect on my blood sugar.

I’m in Oregon and I’ve been wishing I could find Swerve out here for a while in Whole Foods or New Seasons stores. They carry other brands of erythritol but so far I haven’t been as thrilled with them. Come to the Pacific Northwest Swerve!

I am in the Vancouver area so finding Swerve in Safeway, Costco or even London Drugs would be great. As I also often shop in Washington State, I am often at Fred Meyer, Costco or Trader Joes. Even Walmart at times, too. Great website, Carolyn!

I live in Rockville MD and would like to see Swerve in any of the grocery stores that I have around (Harris teeter, Moms organic, Whole foods, Shoppers, Giant, Trader Joes). It will be great if you can also have this product available in Puerto Rico! I will definitively recommend it to many cookers and bakers down there.

I have never heard of Swerve. I have tried varieties of stevia and they each have different pros and cons. I’d love to try Swerve. I shop everywhere: Albertsons, Trader Joe’s, Target, Costco – you name it. And I’m in San Diego.

Hi Carolyn – I discovered your blog a few weeks ago and just love all your recipes. I’ve printed tons and plan to start making some (starting with the Jamoca Almond Fudge ice cream). I’ve been sugar free/grain free since March and have lost 40 lbs – woot woot! I located Swerve at Noah’s Natural Foods in Woodbridge and used it to make Dr. Davis’ carrot muffins – loved it! I was using xylitol but love the powdered version of Swerve (can’t wait to see how it works in melted chocolate).

I live in the Toronto, ON area and would love to see Swerve at LowCarb Grocery, LowCarb Canada, Ambrosia Natural Foods, Healthy Planet, Loblaws.

I did speak with the Cdn distributor and told them about the LowCarb stores since they ship all across Canada it would be excellent to get in there so people all over could order it.

I live in Boise, Idaho. Do most of my shopping at Costco, Winco, and Natural Grocers. But other local stores that I would go to to buy/try/purchase would include Rosaures, WalMart, Albertsons, Fred Meyer or the Boise Co-op. We are getting a new Whole Foods later this year, but where it will be isn’t the most convenient for me.

Hi I live in North Port Florida and would love to find swerve at Publix, Winn-Dixie, Richards or Earth Origins. We would also go to Wal-mart or Target for it. We do most of our shopping at Richards and Winn-Dixie( my husband works there)

I am a resident of Indianapolis, Indiana and I would love to purchase Swerve in my neighborhood Kroger. I am an active user of Swerve and love it! Unfortunately I can only find it online. Hopefully with your help that can be changed!

I live in Germantown, Maryland and I would love to see Swerve at my local Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Mom’s, Walmart, Target, Aldi, even better if sold at Costco or Sam’s Club in bulk…I could make way more goodies…I would even go back to shopping at Giant or Safeway for Swerve…

I live in Wake Forest, NC – shop there and Raleigh, NC. I shop so many different places to get the deals and products that I need – Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Costco (would LOVE a bulk pack), Harris Teeter.

Hi I live in Dallas, Texas and shop at Tom Thumb, Sprouts and Whole Foods. I am also a diabetic too and would really, really Swerve to be available near me. I don’t like the fact that I can’t bake a full variety of desserts with the unmentionable artificial sweetener I currently use so Swerve would be awesome!

I live in Regina, Saskatchewan in Canada, and found Swerve in Old Fashion Foods. I’d love to be able to find it in Walmart here, or Sobey’s, or Extra Foods, or even Co-op. (But I’m still elated that it’s actually available here!) Thanks for the chance to win, and I would LOVE a Kitchen Aid Mixer!! Thanks also for including Canadians in this giveaway.

I would really love to see Swerve in my stores! I am always looking for good sugar-alternative sweeteners! I haven’t tried it yet. I live in Atlanta, GA and shop at Publix, Trader Joe’s, The Fresh Market, Whole Foods, Kroger, Target, Walmart. But most often at Publix because it’s on my way home from work!

I live in far southeastern GA, right on the coast. Would love to try this, but the closest location that sells it seems to be in Louisiana, 4 states west of me! I shop mostly @ local chains, Publix, Winn-Dixie etc., but all they ever seem to have is Stevia, Truvia and Equal (I can’t taste Stevia/Truvia for some reason. It’s not bitter, and there’s no aftertaste, but I don’t taste sweetness either….lol)

I love Swerve! I was turned onto it by Maria Emmerich, who I met with last summer, who told me about “Low Carbing Among Friends” where I learned about “All Day I Dream About Food”… you get the picture! I am in love with this blog, and in love with what all you amazing people have done to make low carb/gluten free foods so AMAZING! No one in my family feels like they’re missing out and just when I started to get in a cooking rut, I opened up LCAF and was given a whole new batch of authors and favorite recipes to add to my collection. On tonight’s agenda: make more chocolate mint fudge pops and the chocolate coconut rum pops!!

I Currently live in Chesapeake VA and use swerve on a daily basis and love the product. [ I even got a new shipment of it in yesterday] we shop at farm fresh and/or walmart and definitely would love to see it on the shelves ! ! ! ! !

I live in northern MN, what’s referred to as the North Shore. We like to shop in the city of Duluth and visit Whole Foods Co-Op (not the same as the similarly named chain), Cub Foods and Super One Foods.

I live in Toronto but my family lives in Windsor, Canada. I have never seen swerve at my local whole foods where I go for specialty products or any health food stores close by. It would great if it was available there or at a local Sobeys.
Ive also never seen it in Detroit.

I purchase my Swerve directly from Swerve or through Amazon.com. I shop at a local natural food store in Inverness, Florida called Rutabagas. I would love to see it there, at Walmart and Publix!! I love this stuff!!

I live in Oak Harbor, WA and I would love to see swerve at our Commissary! Although, if you could get it into Walmart, albertsons, Safeway, or Saars Marketplace I would gladly go there to pick it up! :D. This is for the kitchen aid mixer 🙂

I live in Hudson, WI and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see swerve go into our whole foods or even in our Trader Joes in Woodbury, MN. I have started using it after hearing about it from my very close friend Maria Emmerich. I love that gal!

I live east of Toronto, Ont and would love to see Swerve everywhere LOL! If it helps, Zehr’s, Loblaw’s, No Frills, Great Canadian Superstore, are all by the same company; they are probably the biggest chain here.

I haven’t tried Swerve yet, about to order. I live in Apple Valley, CA and we have Winco, Albertson’s or Stater Brother’s markets in our area. We will be getting a super Walmart in a neighboring town in a couple of months.

I tried a sample packet before and even alone it was so good! I would love to see this at Walmart, Giant Eagle, Heinen’s, Whole Foods, and Mustard Seed Market near me 🙂 This would make it easier to afford in my food budget to get in shape and get healthy! Thanks so much!!

I have not tried Swerve yet but would like to. I live about an hour out of St. Louis.

The best places in this area would be Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Shop & Save (“SuperValu”), Dierbergs, Schnucks, Wal Mart, Costco, Sam’s, Target, or Aldi’s (not likely, but possible since they are “related” to Trader Joes).

I’m in Frankfort, Kentucky USA. Near me there is a Wal-mart and a Kroger. I also live within easy driving distance of a Trader Joes, Fresh Market, Whole Foods, and Costco. I would love to see Swerve on any of those shelves. Whole Foods would probably be the best bet since they have several alternative sweeteners.

I live in mid-Michigan (Saginaw) and would love to see it ANYWHERE. LOL
I do most of my health-food shopping at Discount Health Food (here in Saginaw), but I would make a special trip to another store to purchase it. Walmart would be another great option for me.

I can´t enter as I live in Europe, and I have and looooove a Kitchen Aid already, but please tell your friends at Swerve that I would love to see Swerve sold in Europe! The more low carb options the better =)

I live in Santa Monica, CA, and would love it if Swerve were sold at my local Costco or Trader Joe’s. Currently I purchase Swerve from Netrition.com. It would be great though if I could pick it up where I do my usual grocery shopping (Costco and Trader Joe’s).

Hi,
I live in Columbus, OH. Would love to be able to buy Swerve at any of these local grocery stores: Weiland’s, Kroger Clintonville, Giant Eagle Clintonville, or Whole Foods Dublin.
As an aside, I’m two weeks into living a high protein/low carb diet (mostly derived from fruits and veggies), and was almost going to give up after week one because I missed dessert!!!! Thank you for sharing your recipes, I’ve made two so far, and they were delicious!

I haven’t used Swerve, but I’d like to! As it is, I must shop at several stores to get all of my groceries. These include Safeway, Oliver’s, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s in Santa Rosa, CA. I have friends and family in Canada who can’t get Truvia, so it would be wonderful if Swerve were available there. And I’ve always loved the name of your blog, because I dream about food all day too!

Hi Adrienne, Swerve actually is available in Canada…in fact it’s more widely available there in stores than here. There is a Canadian distributor and if you check out the map to see where to buy Swerve, there are a lot more pins in Canada than in the US. Still, it’s not in every store or chain, mostly in smaller health food stores.

I live in a smallish city called Moscow, Idaho. We frequently use Amazon because we don’t have cool shops like Trader Joes :/ but we do have Safeway and a Local Food Co-op. We try to avoid Walmart as much as possible.

I now live in Magnolia, MS, and I have been a long-time fan of Swerve and you’re right, the people are phenomenal! I helped them get into Whole Foods in Louisiana as a “local” product and have loved them since. I’d love to get it into this area in the Kroger’s, and of course Walmart would break it nationwide!

I live in long Island New York in a town by the ocean Shirley N. Y. and I love to shop in Trader Joe .I <3 to win that kitchen aid Mixer you see my youngest son move out on his own an took Mamma,s kitchen aide Mixer with him!

Today is a great day! I am so happy to have stumbled upon your website! I am so excited about trying many of your recipes. I like in Brooklyn New York and we are surrounded by delicious restaurant food all day! While it is convenient I try to cook at home six times a week for my husband, my sweet one year old and myself. I also teach 8th and 9th graders at a local public school and try to reward them with healthy, scrumptious homemade treats! The KitchenAid five quart mixer would make my life easier and more bellies would be kept full! I am also excited to try Swerve, I will look for it at Fairway, Key Food and Trader Joe’s!

Last week at my Sprouts Store they had Swerve half priced and noted as Discontinued! I bought all 6 bags that were on the shelf! But now I don’t know where to buy it, Sprouts was the only store that I’ve seen it at. My Kroger doesn’t carry it. Klein, Texas (Houston) 77379. Thanks

It’s not actually discontinued. It’s going to be in smaller bags and your local Sprouts is simply discontinuing the 16 oz bags and will stock the 12 oz bags soon. The 12 oz will also have a smaller price tag, not to worry! But glad you stocked up while you could!

I would love to see Swerve in Target and Walmart also. I have a home in TN and PA. Love all your recipes Maria and your health info. Very interesting and informative for those who want to change their eating habits and their lives. Love all that you do for us.
Thanks!

I live in far west Texas between Abilene and Midland. At the present I have to order Swerve online. It would be great if I could purchase Swerve from Walmart or SAMs. It is my favorite sweetener. Thank you for a chance to win. Janis Inman
